sublime sunday photo-walk across St.Petersburg (22 foto)

Today's Sunday turned out to be quite different than the last one. My wife, her friend and me talked out a joint venture - going to the cinema together to watch "The Dune" movie. In the morning I was sleepy and barely got up, and we were about to cancel it and stay at home (lazy us!...) but we didn't! And I am very glad, because otherwise today would have been much paler and less interesting.

We chose to visit the oldest cinema in the city, located on Nevsky ave ("Aurora"). We quite enjoyed the movie (I will not discuss it in this post - I just recommend it! Of course, not if you are fond of trivia sci-fi blockbusters with special effects). After the movie finished, we spent an hour in a coffee shop, sharing our impressions ... and then we chose the longest way home, during which I took a lot of street photos, but alas, I did not have time to photograph the interiors of the cinema.

I didn’t turn my back to this luxurious piece of urban sculpture - although it’s just an advertisement for a Georgian restaurant!

There is another monument right next to the Georgian restaurant. The city of St. Petersburg has a monument to the photographer! I know very well about it, but it seems I have never shown it on my blog yet. Here, look! This is a very nice monument, but this time it was occupied by other photographers, and I did not have time to wait for my turn: D Someday I will tell you more details about it, but now we go on without stopping.

Exhibition and sale of paintings at Nevsky ave. The city has many tourists, and everyone, of course, wants to buy a painting as a memento of their visit. I don't need pictures - I can see these beauties every day ... well, almost.

We took a step away from the main streets.

A man wanders under the trees and carefully examines the leaves, picks chestnuts.

Neva River and a fisherman against the background of the iconic city's landscape - the Peter and Paul Fortress. (I plan to visit 'Money museum' located there, maybe it will happen next week).

Perspective on the Neva River (view from Trinity Bridge).

View at the Peter and Paul Fortress from the Trinity Bridge. It was an ordinary, cloudy day, gray evening was starting - I was not lucky with the sunset colours, otherwise the picture would have turned out much more spectacular.

In fact, the entrance to the Tube was straight ahead, a hundred meters away from us, but we just didn't want to round off the walk and return home ... so we approached said entrance by a very long arc, one step forward and three steps aside. We found this wonderful corner of the park, which even looked "abandoned", and a real "garden labyrinth" for kidz (see photo below).
